On 12th of March we finally got the results of our competition. The hard work was worth it: we got the third place! The reasons for the jury’s decision were our innovative supporting construction based on the shape of a hexagon as the most stable form in nature. That is also the reason why we called our model „Future by Nature“. Almost all of the the track for the marble was set hanging in the air by threads. We tried to create our work as sustainable as possible and used mostly old materials lying around like toothpicks and hangers. All plastic that we used was from the hot glue which is also another reason for the name. However, at the awards ceremony we were at first a bit insecure as we saw the other models. But as time went by we realised that we were actually pretty good. So, we were very happy when we were announced as the third place. Now we have a beautiful bronze medal and a certificate and tickets for a roller coaster, as the task was to create the model of a roller coaster. They also had some food there and after eating we happily went home with our model.
